Prayer times in Tarrafal de São Nicolau — common questions

What time is Fajr in Tarrafal de São Nicolau today?

Fajr in Tarrafal de São Nicolau begins at 05:02 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Tarrafal de São Nicolau?

From Tarrafal de São Nicolau, the Qibla is 74.4° from true north — roughly ENE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Tarrafal de São Nicolau?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Cabo Verde. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How much does daylight change through the year in Tarrafal de São Nicolau?

Day length in Tarrafal de São Nicolau ranges from about 11.1 hours at midwinter to 13.1 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 2 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Tarrafal de São Nicolau?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Tarrafal de São Nicolau's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
